The bullet of his carbine was a faithful messenger that went to fetch the bird hovering in the air, or the leaf the wind stirred. Many times on the esplanade of the house the Italian had seen Álvaro, after working marvels of marksmanship, shatter in the air the arrows Peri shot on purpose to serve him as a target.
